Got me beat there. No lava sharks on the mean streets of Stephenville. But if you can work me into a partnership I'll cut you in on the secret to defeating these devastating ancient techniques. I scooped it from Dillman. Hint: it helps if you're wearing sandals...

Another point, his people obviously knew the sucker punch was coming, because their guy with the camera was in a perfect position to "get the shot" when he hit me.

"Out of every hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back." -- Hericletus, circa 500 BC

I never got to shoot in on him because his assistant follows you down and jumps on your back to "revive" you. I suspect this is to prevent you getting right back up to show you weren't out; and to prevent someone like me from shooting a double and then choking George so hard his parents would die.

You know this is very interesting. This point never occurred to me. It explains so much in the videos when they use real people. The assistant(s) rush forward and fold the guy over.

There's a Dillman guy coming to town here in Dublin at the end of the month. Apparently his seminars are all booked out, but he'll set up additional dates if clubs invite him. I'm really tempted to start nagging some of the committee members in my judo club to get him to come to us. I'd really love to see this stuff up close - both the actual pp stuff, and the way these guys operate their circus.
